In terms of this post and Lander Radioshack…Radio Shack a number of you probably believe the shop has actually been gone for years after all the business declared personal bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned stores a few years later the key word there is company-owned shops dealership shops that were owned by independent business owners remained open one of them occurred to be within a half and an hour drive at my place new holland pennsylvania amish nation here’s some shots of the outside of the radio shack what i actually enjoyed is how the building type of resembled an actual shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i remember basically any type of electronic or device can think about this shop most likely has the first wall included a bunch of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and battery chargers as some of you probably remember to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas including the infamous antenna i inform individuals not to purchase but they buy it anyhow for those of you who are not knowledgeable about what i think of this model here is a short clip this design it’s scrap junk
What happened to RadioShack? Lander Radioshack
junk this piece of junk [Music] the model was actually set up outdoors and hooked into a tv set i went through the channels and just as i expected it was not getting the abc affiliate whtm which transmits on the vhf band this antenna design is understood to not perform well for vhf what’s so ironic is behind the structures were some really excellent older antenna designs regardless of my criticism of this antenna design i can understand why the owners decide to offer and display it it’s smaller and more customer friendly the average individual doesn’t desire a big antenna on their roofing system regardless of the much better performance or in this case getting the harrisburg abc affiliate the next style over had walkie-talkies and some diodes the next design had practically any kind of av cable and adapter imaginable this utilized to be my preferred section due to the fact that i’m also a wedding event videographer and many times i would go to a wedding and forget a particular audio cable television needed for the microphone during the ceremony and there ‘d always be a radio shack nearby i might stop at sadly that’s no longer the case another aisle included merges battery ports and a bunch of wires here’s a wall of transistors and would you believe devices for mounting an outdoor antenna installing brackets amplifiers and even a rotator as i continued down the exact same wall there were video cables and accessories some two-way radios phone wires phones themselves and mobile phone accessories including this really cool bluetooth cassette adapter it can’t be a radio shack without radios take a look at all of them styles in the middle of the shop had vehicle stereo devices speaker wire ethernet cables computer system cables blank media and whoa blank cassette tapes at this radio shack i can actually purchase a cassette deck record onto a blank cassette and if the heads get dirty
